“While deciding on our possible vacation destination, I followed the age-old mantra of ‘sasta, sundar, aur tikau’ to select a 3 nights/4 days romantic vacation in Pattaya. Our requirement of visiting a beautiful international destination that would be light on the pocket got fulfilled perfectly with Pattaya.”

As a frequent traveler, I have visited 8 destinations in the past one year. Since my childhood days, I have always felt the urge to visit as many places as possible. This time, I was looking for a short international vacation with my wife to a beautiful beach destination. I started searching for Thailand holiday packages on Google and from there I found out about TravelTriangle and their mobile application.

Details of our Thailand tour package

After doing some more research and consulting other travel portals, I realized that TravelTriangle offered the best prices for a customizable Thailand tour package.

In Thailand, I chose to visit Pattaya because it was one destination that gave an option of doing multiple things at the same place. For eg, a visit to the coral islands, water sports, try delicious Thai cuisine and shopping in Pattaya.

Thailand had been on my bucket list for a long time, and to strike that place off my list with my wife on a romantic vacation in Pattaya gave me an immense sense of excitement for the upcoming four days.

Day 1: An early morning arrival in Pattaya

Our journey began with a flight from Ahmedabad to Bangkok via Kolkata. We landed at the airport in Bangkok by 1 am, and after completing our immigration process, we met our driver who received and drove us straightaway to Pattaya. We arrived in Pattaya at 5 am and did an early check into Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya. This morning we caught up on some lost sleep and then went out for lunch at noon.

Post lunch, we started our sightseeing tour with by visiting the Botanical Garden at Nong Nooch village- an immensely beautiful garden complex home to thousands of flowers spread over 500 acres.

In the evening, we quickly returned to the hotel and got ready for the Alcazar show. We reached there a bit early making sure that we wouldn’t miss the glitz and glamour of one of the world’s finest cabaret shows. After the two-hour long show, we returned back to the hotel for the night.

Day 2: We experienced the ultimate water sports thrill at Coral Island

The second day of our romantic vacation in Pattaya began with breakfast and then we got ready for a full day tour of Coral Island. We took a speedboat from Pattaya beach and arrived at Coral Island.

Our thrilling day of water sports began with the undersea walk, and banana boat ride.After that, we took the word adventure to a whole new level with an incredible paragliding session. What made gliding 50 feet in the air all the more special was the spectacular views around Coral Island.

After we got free from the watersports at 3 pm, we returned to Pattaya via speedboat. This day, for lunch, we decided to try some delicious Thai cuisine. Normally, I’m more experimental than my wife when it comes to food, but this time both of us tried new things and liked what was offered to us.

In the evening, we wandered out to the famous walking street in Pattaya. We went there with a purpose of shopping and explore the vibrant nightlife of Pattaya.

Day 3: Witnessed the underwater animals like never before

The next day, we were scheduled for a visit to the Underwater Sea World in Pattaya. Upon reaching there, I felt like I was in a beautiful dream, as I had never been to such a huge and gorgeous oceanarium in my life. The experience of going into the glass sealed tunnel walking area and witnessing sting rays and tiger sharks float above us was truly amazing.

After that, we visited the Tiger Park in Pattaya- a sanctuary for tigers who’ve been rescued from poachers, or found injured in the wild and are unable to take care of themselves. In the evening, we returned to the Walking Street to buy some souvenirs for our friends and family.

Day 4: A fond farewell to Pattaya

Alas, our short yet sweet adventure in Pattaya was on its final legs. We checked out of the Centara Grand Phratamnak and started our journey back to the international airport in Bangkok.

The reason why I love to take short trips all across the map is that there is something extremely relaxing and comforting about staying at one place and exploring it to the fullest. On our romantic vacation in Pattaya, my wife and I experienced the hospitality, beauty, and diversity of Thailand. After this positive experience, my wife and I are very motivated to explore other places in Thailand.
